Its what I said earlier that an approach needs to be taken from multiple angles which includes bans of ARs, tougher background checks, crack down on shady gun show dealers, mental illnesses, tougher border security, and make it easier for law enforcement to get warrants for searches and raids based off of tips. And so-on and so-on..

But here is what I am not a fan of seeing, students marching out of class to see action taken. Because if they are going to protest guns, why in the world are they not going to protest smart phones that are responsible for countless more teen deaths a year via texting and driving.

Absolutely well stated on many fronts Millhouse.  Great post.  See, I'm not 100% onboard with a total AR ban (but tougher restrictions on them as I noted), but if that's what it takes to get a compromise done, and actual action taken....then so be it.  There must be give and take.
